Job Title: DRMS National Consultant
Ref No: req8649
Location: Nigeria
Project Overview and Role
Advertisements
- The Nigerian HIV and AIDS resource mobilization strategy was drafted in the year 2012 by National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) with support from DFID (ENR project). The document addressed how the Government of Nigeria could ensure the predictable and sustainable availability of adequate financial resources for the AIDS sector over the next 10 years (by 2022). That strategy concluded that, under a baseline scenario, a shortfall of resources would exist for much of the period under consideration, with a total financing gap for HIV and AIDS of Naira 732 billion from 2013 to 2022. Due to an anticipated decline in international donor support and increasing resource needs, the financing gap would continue to grow reaching Naira 141 billion in 2022, equivalent to 0.12% of GDP. The strategy advocated for public sector mainstreaming, decentralization and private sector contributions, social health insurance and efficiency savings.
- A series of consultations were held with major HIV/AIDS stakeholders including NACA with corresponding review of several documents related to HIV & AIDS control and the Nigeria economy. A national HIV and AIDS resource mapping and strategy development document was developed and, after the results were validated at a National stakeholders meeting led by NACA, the following four strategic priorities were identified for the mobilization of resources for HIV and AIDS programming in Nigeria:
- Increasing government allocation to HIV and AIDS programming through public sector mainstreaming and improved budgeting
- Mobilizing resources from the private sector through alternate sources and direct contribution to HIV and AIDS programming
- Increasing efficiency and equity in the management of HIV and AIDS resources
